“Kristy was great!l We got updates throughout the day. Ella is a dog with special needs blind and diabetic. We know she was treated well and kept safe with Kristy. Would highly recommend.”
“Michelle was so great to our dog, Josie. We were in a pinch and needed a last minute sitter. Michelle was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay which made me feel at ease knowing Josie was in good hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dog loving sitter!”
“Wish I had found Skye sooner. Skye took such good care of my girl… day and night. Constant updates, pics, and incredible communication. The best sitter yet!!! Thank you so much!!!”
“Michael and Danielle were wonderful with Wally. Drop off and pick up was really easy. Their home is beautiful and they have a fenced in yard where Wally could run around with their dog Jet. We received daily updates with lots of photos of Wally enjoying herself. We would definitely trust them with Wally again! Thank you!”
“I’m so happy I found Deena! She and her family took great care of Ruby…they treated her like a family member! Deena sent updates and pictures and videos everyday. I could tell Ruby felt comfortable and was having a great time. Knowing Ruby was in such kind, caring, loving hands allowed me to enjoy my vacation! Ruby and I highly recommend Deena!”
“Lorrie was great with Bishop! She helped this nervous dog mom to be totally comfortable and know that he was in excellent hands. She was super communicative during his stay and made sure Bishop had a great time! I would highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Shelly! She was so amazing with the boys and incredibly accommodating when we had an unexpected change to our plans . We were sent lots of pictures and videos of their stay everyday. My dogs looked so happy and relaxed at her home ! Plus my dogs smelled amazing when I picked them up ! I am so happy we found her !”
“Rachel, Brian and family were outstanding! What a wonderful loving family that took great care of my fur baby. Thank you so much for the peace of mind as we traveled.”
“Amazing. We could not have found anyone better to take care of our dog while away. Megan and her husband were fantastic to work with, so easy with our schedule and gave our dog even more attention than we ever could! They sent me pictures everyday which was so comforting and when it came time to pick up my dog she wasnt even overly excited to see me- I think she would have preferred to stay with them longer :)”
“Let me start by saying that my dogs have never been away from home, so I left two of them with Michael as a short-term test. (2 nights) Lucy, who weighs about 5 lbs, was just fine—she rolls with the punches. Mac, who weighs about 20 lbs, on the other hand, was more of a challenge. Michael took wonderful care of both, giving Mac the extra attention he needed. Michael handled him with patience and care. I’d trust him with them anytime! I would gladly trust them with Michael again—if he’ll have them!”
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs since I got my first pup at age 8. Since then, my family and friends have always trusted me to take care of their furry companions. I create a calm, loving, and personalized environment where your pet’s routine and well-being are my top priority. 🐾 I’ll send you photo and video updates so you can feel completely at ease while your pet stays with me. 💌 First time booking with me? Ask me about a welcome discount on your first stay! I’d love to meet your pet and give them all the love and care they deserve! I am currently working from home, with a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give your little pet my full attention at all times during the time we are together. I live in a comfortable and quite safe apartment, there is no way for your pet to escape. When it is time for potty break I will make sure that your pet is safe at all times.
“Amazing, amazing, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Toni is THE best dog sitter we have ever booked! My little pup had so much fun! Toni sent us pictures of our pup being spoiled with love during the stay making us even more comfortable leaving our pup with her. We are definitely using her services again! Please book her! Highly recommend! Killua was definitely well taken care of!”
About: I’ve had a dogs my entire life. I love them all big and small. I’ve also fostered for the last 20 years. I love all dogs and have 4 of my own. I’d love to pamper your pup too! I am currently a stay at home mother and have plenty of free time to walk or help care for pets. I have mornings and afternoons free. I have 4 very spoiled rescues. We have a fenced in yard but I never leave my dogs outside alone. My dogs are not crated but I would crate a visiting pet for safety if I was not home.
“I recently boarded my 1 year old Frenchie and my 13 year old lab with Mary and Aaron. I could not have been more pleased with my choice. Mary and Aaron (along with their two children-Angus and Allison) cared for my dogs as if they were their own. (Allison had a home-made welcome sign posted on the fence for our arrival). The fact that they have ramps was an added benefit for my older dog. I was constantly updated with status reports and photos which demonstrated that my dogs were having the time of their lives (while on vacation). My dogs were exhausted for days after I picked them up. This family will be my "go to" for boarding and pet sitting. You will not be disappointed. -Jackie D (Locust, NJ)”

Mary and Aaron were great with Ozzie, who tends to be a bit anxious, and after one meet and greet, he ran right into their backyard when i dropped him off the first time for a 4 night stay. I appreciate the pictures and updates they sent and I felt perfectly comfortable that he was in great hands!
